The Patriots have the 29th overall pick in the draft and their future at the quarterback position seems in good hands with Tom Brady.

"It would be tough to believe the Patriots would pick up the electric Manziel, either by moving up in the draft or otherwise, because of the dearth of talented college quarterbacks," Zuri Berry of Boston.com writes. "And not to forget, Tom Brady is signed through 2017."

Berry writes that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may see the talent inside Manziel should he drop in the draft due to character issues. But Belichick could also be using the meeting as a chance to scout Manziel before his career even starts.

"And there's always the due diligence for the Patriots to consider, scouting Manziel ahead of his NFL career," Berry writes. "An up close look could help the Patriots determine if Manziel is worth any value at their current position in the draft or if he'll cause them trouble on the field in the future."
